Hi, i thought knowledge of how to rip sketchfab models might be useful to some people here, so i wrote a guide.

Ripping the model:

Requirements:

- Python 2.6.6
- Blender 2.49
- A custom file containing a python script for importing

Install Python 2.6.6, and add it's location to an Enviroment Variable named "PythonPath" (if you installed in the default locations the paths you need to add are "C:\Python26; C:\Python26\DLLs; C:\Python26\Lib; C:\Python26\Lib\lib-tk")

First, find the model you want to rip on sketchfab (this can be any model) and open your browser and inspect element, go to your network tab and refresh the page.

Look for "file.osgjs.gz", "model_file.bin.gz" and "model_file_wireframe.bin.gz" and download these to a location where you can find them

Open the blender folder and drag "Blender249.blend" on top of "blender.exe", once loaded press Alt+P and navigate to the folder where you saved "file.osgjs.gz" and click import

And there you have it, this works with any model, even paid ones, if you want to use something newer than blender 2.49 you can simply save the .blend file as something else and open it in a newer version, or you can export it.

Notes:

If you still have "PythonPath" set as an enviromental variable you need to delete it to allow newer blender versions to work.

Ripping The Textures:

Requirements:

- Ninjaripper
- Firefox 49.0b2

Install Firefox 49.0b2 and copy the path of the firefox.exe

Open Ninjaripper.exe in the "ninjaripper1.7.1/x86" folder and add the path to the firefox.exe, then select "D3D9 wrapper" in the dropdown

Click Run, firefox will open, go to the same model pageand add /embed to the end of the link

Click Play in the browser window, go fullscreenand spin the model around so the entire model isloaded, Press F9and the window will freeze for a bit, once it's responsive again you can close firefox and ninjaripper, the selected output folder will contain textures for the model you ripped previosly.

That's it, you're done.
